Summary
A veteran of the Irish "Troubles," Michael Forsythe makes it to the Bronx, where he goes to work for an Irish crack dealer named Darkey who wants his rivals, the Dominicans, rubbed out. Unfortunately, Michael falls helplessly in love with the gorgeous Bridget, Darkey's girlfriend. To get rid of Michael, Darkey sends him on a wild goose chase to Mexico-a trap that ends up with Michael in a Mexican prison, an experience he barely survives. And now it's time for revenge on Darkey.

Nothing but the Night
by Bill Pronzini
For some people, the night is a cloak, helping them to hide; for others, it's a bright light, exposing things best left unseen. For some people, the darkness is comforting, giving them time to think and plan; for others, it's where nightmares hide. Nick Hendryx rides the night, comfortable and in control, searching for the man who lost control of his car and slammed Annalisa Hendryx into a coma. Can Gallagher fears the night and the memories it brings, the sounds and images of the anger and death that followed it in his home along the banks of California's Russian River. The lives of Gallagher and Hendryx have taken separate courses; their roads will cross and cross again, with increasing threat, in the nights they begin to share.

DEAD I WELL MAY BE
McKinty, Adrian
New York. 2003. Scribner. Advance Uncorrected Proof. Very Good In Wrapers. pages: 310 pages. keywords: Mystery America. ISBN: 0743246993. October 2003. This Irish bad-boy thriller—set in the hardest streets of New York City—brims with violence, greed, and sexual betrayal. ‘I didn’t want to go to America, I didn’t want to work for Darkey White. I had my reasons. But I went.’ So admits Michael Forsythe, an illegal immigrant escaping the Troubles in Belfast. But young Michael is strong and fearless and clever—just the fellow to be tapped by Darkey, a crime boss, to join a gang of Irish thugs struggling against the rising Dominican powers in Harlem and the Bronx. The time is pre-Giuliani New York, when crack rules the city, squatters live furtively in ruined buildings, and hundreds are murdered each month. Michael and his lads tumble through the streets, shaking down victims, drinking hard, and fighting for turf, block by bloody block. Dodgy and observant, not to mention handy with a pistol, Michael is soon anointed by Darkey as his rising star. Meanwhile Michael has very inadvisably seduced Darkey’s girl, Bridget—saucy, fickle, and irresistible. Michael worries that he’s being followed, that his affair with Bridget will be revealed. He’s right to be anxious; when Darkey discovers the affair, he plans a very hard fall for young Michael, a gambit devilish in its guile, murderous in its intent. But Darkey fails to account for Michael’s toughness and ingenuity or the possibility that he might wreak terrible vengeance upon those who would betray him. A natural storyteller with a gift for dialogue, McKinty introduces to readers a stunning new noir voice, dark and stylish, mythic and violent—complete with an Irish lilt. keywords: Mystery America inventory # 27993. ISBN: 0743246993. ( more information) Offered by Zeno's (United States)
